According to CryptoQuant, the current Bitcoin network difficulty is 88.4 trillion — down from the 92 trillion recorded on Sept. 20, 2024.
Maximizing Bitcoin (BTC) decentralization throughout the entirety of the stack is a matter of national security, Rajiv Khemani, co-founder and CEO of mining chip manufacturer Auradine, told Cointelegraph.
The CEO explained that third-party firmware — which updates and changes over time — could theoretically be used to compromise the energy grid or launch a 51% attack on the Bitcoin network.
Auradine’s CEO outlined a potential situation where malicious code embedded within this firmware could shut down mining operations within a certain geography. This could cause a drop in hashrate and network difficulty, making a 51% attack easier to execute.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang thinks that only AI will have the speed to fight AI-produced fake information.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang says there may only be one way to effectively combat the more nefarious uses of artificial intelligence — with more artificial intelligence.
“It’s going to take AI to catch the darker side of AI,” Huang said at a Sept. 27 event at the Washington, DC think tank the Bipartisan Policy Center.
“The reason for that is pretty clear: AI is going to be producing fake data and false information at very high speeds,” he added. “So it’ll take somebody with very high speeds to detect that and to shut it down.”

The site was ground zero for a partial nuclear meltdown in 1979, which affected a separate unit and caused nearby areas to evacuate.
Microsoft has signed a deal with the Constellation Energy Corporation — the owner of the Three-Mile Island nuclear site — to reopen the Pennsylvania facility and provide the tech company with clean energy for its artificial intelligence operations.
The 20-year deal between Microsoft and Constellation will see the restoration of the Three-Mile Island Unit 1 reactor to host the "Crane Clean Energy Center" as part of the tech giant's commitment to powering its artificial intelligence business through carbon-free power.
As part of the agreement, Constellation Energy will supply 835 megawatts of power to Microsoft and spend approximately $1.6 billion to bring the facility online — a goal the energy provider hopes to accomplish by 2028.

Donald Trump is right: The United States could easily ramp up the amount of energy it expends on Bitcoin mining.
Depending on who you listen to, crypto is a blessing or a curse. Many, like Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick, have convinced themselves our near future will be marked by a massive growth in energy demand to support Bitcoin (BTC) mining that may ultimately break the electrical grid. On the other hand, former President Donald Trump has gone from skeptic to calling on the United States to become the “crypto capital of the planet.”
And is he worried about what that means for energy in America? Nope. Here’s what he had to say:
And Trump is right. In fact, the United States can — and should — put more energy into Bitcoin mining.
